Goodyear Retractable Air Hose Reel - 3/8" Inch x 65' Feet - Premium Commercial Flex Hybrid Polymer Hose

ChrisChris: My main reason for buying this was I felt it would look good in my garage. I’ve used it a couple times now and am very pleased with the quality. The hose feels durable and the reel is smooth as can be. It comes with everything needed to attach to an air supply and mount to the wall or ceiling. I used some toggle bolts for mounting instead of the bolts and anchors that came with it since the provided anchors didn’t work with my paneling.

John: So far, so good. The reel holds plenty of pressure for my needs. Was pretty easy to install on the wall, but was a little heavy getting it in the right place.
I wish it had rollers on the sides as well as top and bottom. It would recoil easier when having the hose at a 90 degree angle to the reel.

freeman_vincent: Ich habe nach einem qualitativ hochwertigen Schlauchabroller gesucht.
Die Lieferzeit betrug 4 Werktage. Der Schlauchabroller kam in seiner Verpackung an, ohne weitere Umverpackung. Einige Blessuren am Karton, zeigen sich auch am Gehäuse. Der Kunststoff ist an manchen Stellen verfärbt und die Struktur des Kunststoffs scheint Schaden genommen zu haben. Beim Ziehen des Schlauchs spürt man kaum Federkraft. Bei meinem vorherigen Schlauchabroller musste ich immer sehr kräftig ziehen, dafür zog er den Schlauch nach getaner Arbeit auch wieder vollständig zurück. Das ist hier bei dem erhaltenen Schlauchabroller von Good Year nicht der Fall. Ich muss den Schlauch reinschieben und in die Öffnung der Rolle greifen um den Schlauch vollständig zu verstauen.
Absoluter Fehlkauf und nicht empfehlenswert.

mbwmbw: Extraordinarily easy to install in the corner of my 40 x 40 barn. So.. :)…: 40’ squared + 40’ squared = diagonal squared. Diagonal = 56.5’ hence 65’ retractable air hose line. Quality is excellent. Fittings are top quality. Extension and retraction of line takes a little getting used to but also works flawlessly. Highly recommended.

FlyerFlyer: I mainly went for this one because of the 65ft of hose. My main goal was to get my air hose off the floor.

Installation was easy enough, mine included lag bolts and thread sealant.

The hose is indeed light weight and flexible, a nice change from the bigger and heavier rubber hose.

As some one else mentioned, this line from the description is a lie, "Automatic Guide System retracts the hose orderly way w/ no pile up" . There is no automatic guide system and the hose is more than happy to pile up and jam. I'll just guide it in myself when done. Still better than what I was doing, coiling hose up on the floor.

Mine does not have any leaks, I left the hose pressurized and shut off the feed to it and have not seen a drop of pressure in several hours, time will tell on this one.

If you are looking for a hose reel that really does guide the hose back in, this is not it. If the extra 15ft of hose seems handy, this reel is OK...... ( so far ).

Mark J.: First let me mention that the description says 1/4 inch BSP, but the hose terminations are actually 3/8. Also, both ends of the hose are male threads, yet the supplied male Euro connector is male too. So only enough connectors to connect one end. The build quality is OK. It functions OK, but I do feel I paid for the Goodyear sticker and could have got the same features much cheaper. A little bit disappointed to be honest.

Camjohn: I had read some of the reviews where buyers had suggested that the hose can become tangled while being retracted but I still went ahead with the purchase, as it is my belief that some issues are created through misuse. However, in practice I have found that great care needs to be taken when retracting the hose as there is no guide within the mechanism to prevent the hose piling up at one end thus jamming the hose against the casing. This reel was more expensive by far than the retractable garden hose, made by a well known company, that I recently bought. This reel has a guide mechanism which slides from side to side while the hose is being retracted to ensure that the hose is evenly distributed along the drum. Why couldn't the manufacturer of the Goodyear hose do something similar??

Mr. C. L. Osborne: Very impressive.

James F.: After looking at several of these, I chose this one for two main reasons:

1) 15 feet longer than most (65 feet vs. 50 feet)

2) the mounting arm swivels nearly 90 degrees side to side - providing the mounting options I needed.

I installed it onto my residential garage horizontal wooden beam support. The mounting bracket on the reel has three holes in it. I wanted to use all three (because I "over do" everything), but I couldn't easily get a wrench onto the center hole bolt while I was holding the reel up, so I just used the two non-center bolt holes. The two bolts are plenty strong, but I mention this just as an FYI for anyone who wants to do all three. If someone was helping me, I am sure I could have used all three holes. But it was too difficult for me to hold the unit up and bolt in the center hole. If Goodyear is reading this - if you made the swiveling mounting bracket fasteners into the plastic reel housing removable and replaceable, I could have removed the bracket from the plastic reel housing, installed the bracket to my garage's horizontal wooden beam, then reattached the bracket to the plastic reel housing as a simple one person job. But I would...
